Hello. I am new to Avalon. I have read the "getting started" guide, downloaded Avalon and the various subprojects, studied the sourcecode, and tried to understand how the various components work together.
I am very interested in security. The getting started guide mentions Guardian, but I have not been able to locate which project contains this class. The mail archives mention something called Fortress, but the link from the Avalon home page to Fortress is a dead link. The archives describe various security initiatives, but I can't figure out how far along these initiatives ever got. So I am writing this email. Please excuse me for the blitz of questions below; I have tried to search before posting. What is the current state of security in Avalon? How does it work (in general)? Is Avalon compatible with JAAS? What is Guardian? What is Fortress? A comment: What I have seen regarding security in Avalon seems to concentrate more on component security, and which code should be allowed to execute in the server. I am interested in code security, but I am more interested in user-based security. How is user-based security implemented in Avalon? Does Avalon provide Access Control Lists or equivalent? How do I administer security? I would appreciate any information you can point me towards. Thanks!
